Supplier Audits

Second-party assessment of supplier and supply-chain controls.

An independent audit of your suppliers, conducted on your behalf and against your requirements — providing objective assurance about the controls operating upstream of your own process.

What it covers

Supplier food safety and quality system against your specified requirements
Raw material controls, incoming inspection, and specification conformance at source
Traceability from supplier through to your delivery, tested end to end
Supplier corrective action capability and history of recurrence

Who it's for

Manufacturers carrying food safety risk from raw material or ingredient suppliers
Businesses formalising an approved supplier program
Operations where a supplier issue has already occurred and assurance is now required

What you receive

An independent supplier audit report written for your decision-making, not the supplier's marketing
Findings assessed against your requirements, not only the supplier's own system
A clear assurance position — approved, conditional, or not recommended, with the evidence behind it
Corrective action requirements issued to the supplier with verification tracked to closure

Standards referenced

ISO 19011:2018, your specified supplier requirements

Competence basis
